Skin Of Evil (Star Trek: The Next Generation, S1 E23) was recommended by Mark Nixon, who said: This was one of my earliest experiences of horror and ultimately proved formative in the developments of my tastes and values as a storyteller. At that age I saw Riker as the coolest, bravest guy I had ever seen, and to see him being helplessly dragged by some invisible force while screaming for help? Chilling stuff indeed.Plus Picard gets to *really* Picard, in a season that gave their captain less opportunities to be the hero in a way that Kirk did.Skin Of Evil first aired on April 25, 1988, written by story by Joseph Stefano, teleplay by Joseph Stefano & Hannah Louise Shearer, and directed by Joseph L.

The Blind Rage podcast: Horror Movie Commentaries

“She's harmless… She's as harmless as one of those stuffed birds.” This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, Tony and I sit down to watch Gus Van Sant's 1998 remake of Alfred Hitchcock's immortal classic PSYCHO, a film which tanked at the box office and was ripped to shreds by critics. Of course, I've long ago pledged my allegiance to the original. I'm not mental. Or…a psycho… But I would call this one tolerable. Wouldn't say I have a soft spot for it, but it's tolerable, primarily thanks to Joseph Stefano's original script, which was only minorly tweaked, and the performances by the stellar cast. Excluding Vince Vaughn, whose bastardization of the Norman Bates character should've gotten him blacklisted from Hollywood. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blindragepod/message

Psycho IV: The Beginning is the fourth and final film in Universal's Psycho franchise, and the last to portray Anthony Perkins in his most famous of roles.  It's the first of the series not to be released theatrically, debuting on the premium cable channel Showtime in 1990.  This film is a sequel in theory, as it does take a step forward in showing Norman Bates trying to live the semblance of a normal life today, finally in a relationship with a woman, with a baby on the way.  Trouble is, Norman does not want a baby, thinking that being a homicidal maniac is a genetic trait that passes on from generation to generation, and he wants his mother's psychopathic tendencies to end with him. On this night, Norman is listening to a late-night radio program about why sons kill their mothers, and after hearing what the doctors have to say about it, Norman ends up calling the show to tell how it really went down for him.  Under the pseudonym of 'Ed', Norman relates the tale of his adolescence, and how his mother Norma's severe mood swings, psychological abuse, and sexual repression drove him to commit murder, including his own mother. Although much talked about in the previous films, Psycho IV: The Beginning is the first to show a living Norma Bates (Olivia Hussey), and to give is a first-hand viewing of how bizarre an upbringing a young Norman (Henry Thomas) would have, resulting in an overwhelming feeling of guilt in his actions that he didn't have the maturity or mental balance to keep a grip on. In addition to Norma's stamping out of her son's masculinity and sexuality, there is also an element of Norman becoming a bit of a surrogate for male companionship in her life in between finding a suitable partner, though never physically consummated between mother and son. Mick Garris directs from a screenplay from Psycho screenwriter Joseph Stefano.

Time serves as the ultimate judgment upon the impact and power of ones art. Now nearly 60 years later people are beginning to realise the philosophical and poetic depth within the writings of Joseph Stefano. Stefano was the man who adapted Robert Bloch's `novel into the screen play that became Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho". More importantly he was the unsung genius behind the bulk of the episodes of the small screens first season of the science fiction anthology series "Outer Limits". Never before had the human condition been explored so profoundly than this imaginative foray into science fiction and fantasy and gothic horror. (I will argue that Rod Serling came close but Stefano took it to a whole new level) Radical in his approach, constantly outwitting the censors Joseph elevated the intellect of his audiences by serving allegories that danced macabre and pinched the nerve of our psychic disorders. All these decades later historians and critics are singing his praises. Dan Rash not only has sung his praises but has taken it one step further by doing an immaculate job of editing and curating some of Stefano's most astounding shooting scripts for Outer Limits including quite a few that never made it to air. We were honoured to have the opportunity to speak to Dan about the passionate drive that led to his forth coming book that celebrates Stefano's writings. Dan is not just a fan but has now concreted his role as a film historian in the construction of the book "From The Inner Mind to the Outer Limits Volume One". If the first print run of 500 sells out then a second volume will become a reality, lets make sure this happens. Link below.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Psycho IV: The Beginning. Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) calls into a talk radio show about serial killers and tells the host Fran Ambrose (CCH Pounder) all about his twisted childhood. Made for Showtime and directed by horror maven Mick Garris (Critters 2), this is the only Psycho sequel written by Joseph Stefano, the screenwriter of the original. The modern day wraparound plot is a bit weak, but it's nice to see Anthony Perkins playing Norman one last time. Olivia Hussey is especially creepy playing Norman's incestuous abusive mother.  Sequelcast 2 and Friends is part of the Greenlit Podcast Network Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 Like our Sequelcast 2 Facebook Page Listen to Marc with a C's music podcast Discography.

Finally, a movie that makes sense! This week, the Brides pull up to the Bates Motel for a spirited discussion on Alfred Hitchcock's seminal thriller, Psycho. We rave about the spotless editing, Anthony Perkins' legendary performance, the straight up hot opening scene, and obviously beautiful and iconic score by Bernard Hermann. I We also debate if viewing this movie through a 2021 lens makes Norman Bates look like a total creep even before the final twist, and the sheer pointlessness of the 1998 Gus van Sant remake. Honestly, this movie is a masterpiece, and if you haven't seen it yet, what are you even doing here? Psycho. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Based on Psycho by Robert Bloch. Written by Joseph Stefano. Starring Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Garvin, and Martin Balsam.

La celebridad de Robert Bloch se debe principalmente a su autoría de Psicosis, novela adaptada fielmente por Joseph Stefano para el filme del mismo título dirigido por Alfred Hitchcock en 1960. Su guion propio más conocido es el que escribió para la película Amor Entre Sombras, del director William Castle. Bloch escribió asimismo guiones para la serie Star Trek, y trabajó para varias series de televisión, como la presentada por el actor de cine de terror Boris Karloff, titulada Thriller. Este autor intervino en la antología de ciencia-ficción del escritor Harlan Ellison titulada 'Visiones Macabras. Su relato Un Juguete para Juliette evocaba conjuntamente al Marqués de Sade y a Jack El Destripador. Ha cultivado el género del relato breve saltando con habilidad de un género a otro pero demostrando siempre su gran dominio del suspense y el terror psicológico. EL relato que hoy nos ocupa, “La guadaña” es una muestra de su enorme capacidad para escribir un relato terrorífico con un estilo por encima de la media que logra arrastrar a su lector hasta su inesperado final.

We're joined by screenwriter Tom Vaughan (Winchester, Unstoppable) to discuss his picks for the 10 greatest horror screenplays ever written. From consensus classics like Dan O'Bannon's script for Alien and Joseph Stefano's work on Psycho, to offbeat choices like the remake of The Blob, the conversation digs into what makes for brilliant writing in a genre where the art of the screenplay often gets overlooked. Vaughan breaks down Howard Hawks' maxim that a great film is "three good scenes and no bad ones," the importance of scene work, what constitutes "cheating" in a narrative, and how to breathe life into clichés, homages and remakes.

We made it to the fourth instalment of the Psycho franchise, and it was quite the bookend. Exploring the origin as well as the ultimate fate of our beloved Norman, this combination sequel-prequel was a fun way to transition us back to the original film. The guys had their differences on this one, but were able to agree that Psycho IV gives the audience an appropriate conclusion.

He is an unsung hero from The Original Series. Associate producer Bob Justman was a key figure in keeping the production side of Star Trek functioning on time ...and on budget. He came to Star Trek in 1965 and started at the beginning, working on the first pilot, The Cage. Justman stayed until 1968, working on 14 of the 24 shows in the third season. Like Gene Coon, Bob Justman had a real impact on the show while he was there. He was a major player in getting Star Trek off the ground and functioning as a production. On this episode of 70s Trek, co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto tell you about Associate Producer Bob Justman. Show Notes          Robert "Bob" Harris Justman was born July 13, 1926 in Brooklyn          ⁃        As a boy he really liked Science Fiction          ⁃        His father Joseph Justman was in the produce business. He and his partners did very well.          ⁃        In 1944, Bob signed up for the draft. He didn’t get drafted so he went to the draft board and asked why he wasn’t drafted. They said he wasn’t needed. He told them he wanted to go so they sent him the PE building in LA for a physical. He failed due to his eye sight. He protested so they sent him to Ft MacArthur to get a real physical and made it.          ⁃        While Bob was in the Navy during WW II his father, Joseph, founded the Motion Picture Center studio          ⁃        He rented it to Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz and in 1950 they bought. The studio became part of Desilu Studios.          ⁃        When Bob returned from the navy he worked at the produce firm. He didn’t get paid very well so when his dad asked him to come to LA to work in the motion picture business he decided to leave the produce firm and go to LA.          ⁃        He hung around the studio for a time until his money ran out. He then went to one of the producers and asked for a job. This landed him his first job working on the film “Three Husbands” as a production assistant Justman had quite a career in film and TV as a Production Assistant and Assistant director prior to TOS          ⁃        Production assistant on such films as          ⁃        1951's          ⁃        The Scarf (featuring Celia Lovsky),          ⁃        New Mexico (featuring Jeff Corey and John Hoyt)          ⁃        M (featuring Norman Lloyd and William Schallert)          ⁃        He Ran All the Way (also with Norman Lloyd),          ⁃        1952's          ⁃        Japanese War Bride (with George D. Wallace),          ⁃        Red Planet Mars          ⁃        Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (with Leonard Mudie)          ⁃        1953's          ⁃        The Moon Is Blue - made in 2 version an english version and a german version          ⁃        The Moonlighter.          ⁃        Assistant Director and producer          ⁃        To be an assistant director you had to be in the Director’s Guild. At the time, to get in the Guild you had to be either the son of a member or be nominated by a studio which was only allowed one nomination a year. He didn’t have either but he requested to be accepted anyway. After waiting an agonizing 30 minutes for an answer the president of the Assistant Directors Counsel, Bob Aldrich, went to him, shook his hand and said, “Welcome brother”          ⁃        everyone starts as a 2nd assistant director. It only took Justman about a year to become 1st assistant director which was unheard of          ⁃        After Superman Justman was approached to be 1st assistant director on a series of 3 films called “The Americans” which never saw the light of day          ⁃        As an assistant director, Justman worked with director Bob Aldrich on several projects.          ⁃        They first worked together on the 1952-53 NBC series The Doctor, - This was his first AD job          ⁃        after which they collaborated on such films as Kiss Me Deadly (1955) and          ⁃        Attack (1956, featuring William Smithers).          ⁃        Justman's other films where he was assistant director included;          ⁃        The Big Combo (1955, featuring John Hoyt and Whit Bissell),          ⁃        Blood Alley (1955, starring Paul Fix),          ⁃        While the City Sleeps (1956, with Celia Lovsky)          ⁃        Director - Fritz Lang          ⁃        Noticed Justman looking at his set plans and Lang spent time to explain the plans to him even though Justman was the 2nd AD          ⁃        This was technics that Justman used in the future          ⁃        Lang had issues with John Drew Barrymore          ⁃        Barrymore looked to his wife for direction instead of Lang which did not make him very happy          ⁃        Green Mansions (1959, starring Nehemiah Persoff), and          ⁃        1962's Mutiny on the Bounty (featuring Antoinette Bower, Torin Thatcher and stunts by Paul Baxley).          ⁃        Justman was also an assistant director on television shows such as          ⁃        The Adventures of Superman (1953-58, 78 ep)          ⁃        associate producer for all 78 episodes and          ⁃        assistant director on the classic series during its 1954-55 season.          ⁃        Justman says that George Reeves was a trooper given what he was put thru          ⁃        One time the wire broke and he dropped down to the cement          ⁃        Justman learned early to schedule certain shots very carefully. As an example he tells a story about how Reeves would drink his lunch so when he would do the spring-board jump out the window he sort of missed and hit his knees on the window sill          ⁃        The Thin Man (1958-59, 31 ep)          ⁃        Northwest Passage (1958-59, 13 ep)          ⁃        Philip Marlowe (1959-60, 26 ep)          ⁃        Alcoa Presents One Step Beyond (1959-1961)          ⁃        Produced at the same time as the more well-known The Twilight Zone (1959)          ⁃        Some stars included Cloris Leachman, Warren Beatty, Jack Lord, Christopher Lee, Elizabeth Montgomery, Donald Pleasence, and William Shatner,          ⁃        Dr. Kildare (1961-66, 6 ep)          ⁃        Was asked by the President of MGM TV if Justman new any composers. Justman had heard some of Jerry Goldsmith’s scores and recommended him. As we talked about in Episode XXX This was one of Goldsmith’s breakout opportunities.          ⁃        Justman and Goldsmith have never met          ⁃        The Outer Limits (1963-65, 20 ep)          ⁃        He served as the assistant director for all 20 episodes and a Production Manager in 1964          ⁃        Appeared in the 1964 episode "A Feasibility Study" (directed by Byron Haskin, written by Joseph Stefano, and starring David Opatoshu)          ⁃        Worked with Shatner on “Cold Hands, Warm Heart” (1964)          ⁃        Sally Kellerman, James Dohan          ⁃        Lassie (1965-66, 4 ep)          ⁃        My Friend Flicka (1956-57)          ⁃        While the City SleepsFritz Lang          ⁃        In Oct 1964 Justman met GR at Desilu to talk to him about Associate Producer role for the first TOS pilot “The Cage”. Justman recommended Byron Haskin saying that he (Justman) did not have enough post production experience          ⁃        first to call Gene Roddenberry "The Great Bird of the Galaxy," drawn from a throwaway line from the original series episode "The Man Trap" That takes us to October 1964. Gene Roddenberry was in pre-production for Star Trek’s first pilot, The Cage and he needed an associate producer. An Associate Producer’s job is to do the dirty work on a show. This person makes sure both the production and post-production phases are running smoothly for every episode. They are also responsible for making sure each episode doesn’t run over budget. So with a show as complicated as Star Trek was going to be, Gene needed an experienced hand. He asked James Goldstone who had worked with Gene on The Lieutenant if he had any suggestions. He recommended Bob Justman. Justman met with Gene for about 30 minutes and Gene offered him the job. While Justman really wanted it, he turned down Roddenberry’s offer. He felt Star Trek’s post-production needs would be great, and he was afraid he didn’t have the experience to get the job done. But they also needed an experienced assistant director. Justman was, at the time, working on The Outer Limits. But Desilu’s Executive in Charge of Production, Herb Solow, called and asked if Justman could work for Star Trek temporarily, just 6 weeks. And that was it. The deal was done and Justman came to Star Trek. Now the original position that Justman had interviewed for, associate producer, went to Byron Haskin. He was an experienced producer, but was hard to get along with. And as work started on The Cage, he and Roddenberry butted heads a lot. Rodenberry would want a certain effect on a shot, and Haskin would tell him it couldn’t be done. Period. He gave Gene no alternative ideas. Often times, Justman was in the middle of these disputes trying to nudge Haskin to come up with something Work on The Cage finished, and NBC rejected it. But invited Roddenberry to try again. When Star Trek was offered to do the second pilot, Gene asked Justman back. This time, though, he gave him the job of associate producer. Gene had had enough of Haskin. Because of the budget on the 2nd pilot, when post-production finished on it, so did Justman’s job. This was the summer of 1965. But Desilu had attracted a number of pilot projects that needed produced. So Solow decided to make Justman the associate producer on all of them. This way he could stay at Desilu and be close by if Star Trek was picked up. Some of the work he did included Desilu’s other big show, Mission Impossible. Star Trek was picked up by NBC in March 1966. And Justman’s first task was to move the starship sets from the soundstage where the 2nd pilot was shot, to a new soundstage that would be its home for the series. This was actually a monumental task. Each section had to be removed, crated and put back into place on the new soundstage in exactly the same configuration. The move resulted in some of the sets being redesigned, and reworked for the series. One of those sets was the bridge that got a big make over. As the show started production, it was Justman’s job to make sure all the little details were taken care of. Some of this work included analyzing scripts and establishing production budgets for them, Making sure production on one episode, production and post production on a 2nd were all moving forward simultaneously and on schedule. Any issues for any shows in any of these stages, were Justman’s to work out. Along with his day-to-day duties, Justman also acted in one episode of the series, though he is not creditied for it, He is the voice of a security guard in the episode Conscience of the King. He also found time to come up with a story idea. He came up with the basic story for the episode Tomorrow is Yesterday. In fact, he laid that story out in a memo to Gene on April 12, 1966. When he didn’t hear anything for 8 months, he sent a reminder to Gene about the idea. At that point, the show was hungry for scripts, so Roddenberry approved of the idea and assigned Dorothy Fontana to write the screenplay. But in his second memo, you cans ee a little of Justman’s wit. He wrote at the end, “Please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience, as otherwise I feel I shall be forced to sell this story idea to “Time Tunnel.” ” That’s just one example of Justman’s wit, and it is pretty legendary. He would often let his sarcastic sense of humor and dry wit fly in memos. An example of his humor can actually be seen in the closing credits of the show. For Herb Solow’s credit, Justman intentionally chose a picture of the Balok dummy from the Corbmite Maneuver and positioned Solow’s credit just under the glaring eyes of Balok. Justman later wrote in the Book Inside Star Trek, “I thought it a fitting tribute, as did Herb, who thanked me profusely, thereby depriving me of some heavy-duty gloating. I still have the original credit and display it in my office at home, suitably framed in the cheapest, junkiest frame I could find.” And there’s another incident that speaks to Justman’s humor. The show was shooting a script that was still being written by Roddenberry. The last shot was about to be completed, and if they didn’t get the new pages for the next scene, they would be forced to shut down production. That costs money! So Justman went to Gene’s office. Roddenberry kept writing away, and didn’t acknowledge Justman. Justman waited a few minutes and finally asked, him, “How much longer Gene?” Roddenberry ignored him and kept writing. Justman waited some more. At one point Gene looked up, thinking about something, ignored Justman, and went back to work. Justman later wrote, “He shouldn’t have done that. I climbed up onto his desk and stood there, looking down at him. ‘That’ll teach him to ignore me, I thought.” After a few minutes more, Gene finally ripped the pages free of the typewriter, finished scribbling on them, and without looking at Justman, reached up and handed them to him. Without saying anything, Justman jumped down and went to the set. This became a standard routine through the 1st and 2nd seasons of the show. Whenever Gene was still writing, Justman would jump up on his desk and wait for the pages. But there’s a little addendum to this story. There came a time when Justman tried to get in Gene’s office and the door was locked. He realized that there was an electronic latch on the door that, when Justman entered the outer office, Gene’s secretary would activate. Not to be out done, Justman waited until the secretary left on an errand. Found the switch and unlocked Gene’s door. Then without saying a word, he entered Roddenberry’s office, walked past Gene who was busy writing, and exited through another door at the other end of the office. Justman wrote, “We never discussed it, not even in later years. It was our own private joke and it helped cement an already close friendship.” The 2nd year of Star Trek was by far its best. It’s when all the right people were active in the right positions. Speaking of positions, Justman told Roddenberry at this time that he wanted to move up to a full producer’s position for Star Trek’s third season, and Gene agreed it was probably time. With the letter writing campaign at the end of the 2nd year, Star Trek’s third season was guaranteed. But it wasn’t going to go the way anyone thought it would. NBC first told Roddenberry that Star Trek would be on at 7:30 on Monday. Then it changed the position to Friday at 8:30. But, it finally settled on Fridays at 10pm, a time when Star Trek’s core audience would not be home watching TV. It was this move by NBC that prompted Roddenberry to move out of his producer role and become the Executive Producer of the show. That position is further up the chain of command, and has nothing to do with the day-to-day operations. Roddenberry had, in effect, quit Star Trek. As pre-production for the third season began, the show had no story editor. So Justman jumped in and started reading and analyzing stories and scripts. Then he would forward his thoughts to Gene. Roddenberry never responded and seldom read Justman’s reports. To make matters worse, there was no one to rewrite scripts. Justman urged Roddenberry to hire someone. Gene finally got back to him and said, “Good news Bob, Star Trek’s going to have a new producer this year.” Justman thought gene was about to say, “It’s you.” Instead, Roddenberry said, “Fred Freiberger’s coming in as our new producer…” Hustman was stunned. “Gene, I thought I would be producer.” “You will,” said Roddenberry. “You’ll be a co-producer.” The new studio, Paramount, and NBC wanted an experienced hand at the help of such a complicated show. Justman was viewed as a nuts and bolts guy, and Roddenberry didn’t fight for him. Justman’s attitude toward Star Trek never recovered. In fact the morale of the entire cast and crew began to sink. Star Trek was not a fun place to work anymore. Gene was now gone. Frieberger had to labor to understand the show. And the bulk of the daily chores fell on Justman. He later wrote, “I was alone, struggling against insuperable odds.” Without Roddenberry, the writing process was no longer about good stories. It was now just budget-driven. Justman wrote, “There were no highs and no lows---just a boring in-between…The Star Trek I knew, and was proud to be a part of, was no more.” He expressed his concerns to paramount’s head of TV, Doug Cramer. Cramer asked Justman to stay and promised him his pick of future pilots to work on if he did. Justman said he’s love to do a pilot for Cramer, but he wanted out of his contract. Paramount came back and offered more money, but that wasn’t what Justman wanted. Justman was burned out. That’s when Herb Solow called. He was now the head of MGM Television and he offered Justman a full producers job on the pilot for “Then Came Bronson.” He quit Paramount the next day and, according his own words, became persona non grata at Paramount for the next 18 years. After Star Trek, Justman went on to work on shows like Search and Man from Atlantis. In 1987, he rejoined Gene Roddenberry and others from The Original Series on Star Trek The Next Generation. He served as Supervising Producer for 17 episodes in the first season. In 1996, he and Herb Solow published their book, Inside Star Trek: The Real Story. If you haven’t read this one, it is a very captivating look at what was going on behind the scenes at Star Trek. Bob Justman died of Parkinson’s Disease in 2008.
